Verse 7.10.2

तद्वेदनावेदनयोरभेदात्स्वस्थमास्यताम् ।
निर्यन्त्रमेव चित्रस्थज्ञप्तिवद्व्योममध्यवत् ॥ २ ॥

tadvedanāvedanayorabhedātsvasthamāsyatām |
niryantrameva citrasthajñaptivadvyomamadhyavat || 2 ||

Therefore remain at rest without making any distinction, between your knowledge of the world or its absence (because the refutation of the existence of gross matter altogether, refutes the existence of the gross world also); and because a picture drawn only on the tablet of the painter's mind, and not painted on an outward plate, is as false as the knowledge of the fairy land in the empty air or vacuum.
